It is expected that the number of long-term breast cancer survivors will increase owing to the improvements in chemotherapy and irradiation, while the risk of double cancers, including secondary malignancy, may become an issue. There are many unclear points in the treatment policy with regard to when a secondary malignancy occurs or the primary cancer relapses during the management of a secondary malignancy. A 54-year-old woman who was diagnosed with ER/PgR-positive HER2 negative breast cancer Stage ⅢB received neoadjuvant chemotherapy FEC and docetaxel followed by breast surgery, adjuvant hormone therapy, and radiation therapy. Chronic myeloid leukemia diagnosed by the abnormal findings of leukocytosis and bone marrow aspiration emerged after 3 years of the diagnosis of the first breast cancer. After 3 years of imatinib therapy that achieved a major molecular response(MMR)of CML, a recurrence of sacral metastasis of breast cancer was revealed by MRI. The combination of imatinib and hormone or S-1 chemotherapy could be maintained without serious adverse events after the relapse of the primary cancer.

Introduction: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd) and sacituzumab-govitecan (SG) provided significant progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) improvements over chemotherapy (CT) in pretreated hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and triple-negative (TN)/HER2-low metastatic breast cancer (MBC). However, no direct comparison between the two exists, nor with the more recent datopotamab-deruxtecan (Dato-DXd).
Methods: We conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare efficacy and safety of T-DXd and SG in CT-pretreated HR+ and TN/HER2-low MBC and assess their benefit over standard CT, exploring also a comparison with Dato-DXd.

Cancer progression and treatment outcomes are heavily influenced by the tumor microenvironment (TME), especially through immune cell interactions. Here, we present a protocol for generating co-cultures of tumoroids with macrophages, either semi-liquid or Matrigel-embedded. We describe steps for macrophage preparation, co-culture establishment, and medium adjustments to support cell viability and function.

This study aims to comprehensively clarify the relationship between blood cadmium concentration (BCC) and nine specific cancers.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018 identified 36,991 participants.

Background: In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients receiving adjuvant capecitabine, the impact of HER2 expression on survival outcomes is unclear.
Methods: Between June 2017 and December 2023, 112 patients with TNBC who received adjuvant capecitabine due to residual masses after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in three hospitals were identified. HER2 is analyzed through immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or in situ hybridization in the core biopsy and/or post-surgical histopathologies.

Purpose: Chronic pain is prevalent among breast cancer survivors. Bio-psychosocial factors interplay in its exacerbation and maintenance. Therefore, prevention and treatment require an interdisciplinary response and the integration of various approaches.
